History in Headlines: JFK Assassination

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on 22nd November 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

It was a pivotal moment in American history, generating widespread mourning and shockwaves that radiated through every state.

Forever etched in modern history and the headlines of newspapers across the globe, JFK’s death abruptly ended a period of optimism, plunging the nation into grief and uncertainty.

To honour the shocking event that shifted the course of history, you can secure the official JFK collector’s frame today housing an original 1963 Silver coin. 

Here’s why you need it:

  • Features an original 1963 US Roosevelt Dime – issued in the year of President Kennedy’s assassination
  • Struck from .900 Silver featuring John R. Sinnock’s portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States
  • These coins are rarely seen on the secondary market as they were hoarded into safes and collections in 1963 when the Treasury Department announced circulating Silver coinage may soon come to an end
  • Comes housed in the unique collector’s frame with bespoke artwork inspired by news articles from the event

But considering these coins have travelled almost 5,000 miles to get here, just a limited number are available.
